Editorials, Opinion From name calling and screaming matches to wild accusations and downright nasty behavior, the national political arena has been ripe with examples of adults behaving badly.

Washougal High School’s Fishback Stadium is a place where people of all ages gather for sporting events, community fundraisers, and school activities. As anyone who has attended a Friday night lights football game can attest, it is a facility that plays an integral part in Washougal community tradition. Without a doubt the stadium, named in honor of a former school district superintendent, screams black and orange pride.
So on Saturday night when someone decided to spray paint graffiti at this beloved site, it was without hesitation that Washougal supporters of all ages sprang into action.
“Our Panther community is rallying against hate and standing up with pride to come cleanup our stands,” wrote Assistant Principal Sheree Gomez-Clark, in a message to the Post-Record.
